Chapter 143 Why is it her?
Shangguan Sui sighed lightly and began to recall the plot in his mind.
[If the story progresses according to the original book, Jiang Qi will soon leave Xia Kingdom and arrive at Dayue Kingdom. He will encounter many hardships along the way and will eventually be saved by Xiao Ziyuan.]
[It was not until later in the original book, when Xiao Ziyuan attacked the Xia Kingdom, that Jiang Qi learned about his life experience, but by that time, my aunt had already passed away.]
[Mother and son only met once on the day of birth, and since then, they have never met again...]
[It’s so tragic…]
Xiao Ziyuan raised his eyebrows slightly.
What does this have to do with him?
Jiang Qi hid behind the old man, blinking his eyes.
He looked timidly at the little girl in front of him who was about his age.
It's so strange, why didn't she open her mouth?
I can hear her talking...
Jiang Qi reached out and scratched his head.
But, but he seemed to have trouble understanding what she was saying...
Shangguan Sui tilted his head slightly and asked in a baby voice, "Are you hungry? I can take you to many delicious places!"
[I want to take Jiang Qi back! Let him and my aunt meet each other! ]
Jiang Qi understood this.
This sister wants to take him to eat delicious food!
He nodded vigorously, but his words were a little unclear, "Squeak, I want to squeak."
Shangguan Sui's eyes suddenly turned red when he heard this.
[My cousin was taken away and raised by Uncle Li since he was young, but Uncle Li was dumb and could not teach my cousin anything.]
[So much so that my little cousin is now five years old, but he can’t even speak properly…]
Upon seeing this, General Chen immediately stepped forward and said, "Fifth Princess, this boy is just a little beggar. Do you really want to bring him into the post station?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ziyuan narrowed his red phoenix eyes slightly and glanced coldly at General Cheng.
He said coldly, "The princess has made the decision, the general will obey your orders."
When General Chen felt that look, he couldn't help but shudder suddenly.
Is this kid really only nine years old? How can he have such a scary look...
General Chen didn't dare to say anything more and immediately went in to make arrangements.
Shangguan Sui turned to look at the old man next to Jiang Qi, and said with a smile: "Old man, you should eat with us."
Uncle Li was stunned at first, then he bowed and saluted.
He can't talk, and this is the only way he can express his gratitude.
Shangguan Sui looked at Uncle Li and sighed softly.
【Uncle Li is actually the uncle of the concubine Zhang.】
[At that time, Zhang wanted to kill Jiang Qi, but Uncle Li couldn't bear to kill a baby, so he secretly saved Jiang Qi.]
[And in order to protect Jiang Qi, he prepared to take him away from Xia Country and go to a new place.]
Soon, the servants at the post station took Jiang Qi and Uncle Li downstairs to wash up and change into new clothes.
Jiang Qi's originally dirty little face was washed clean, revealing his delicate eyebrows and eyes, which were clean and clear.
He sat obediently at the table, eating the meat in the bowl in big mouthfuls.
Shangguan Sui looked at him with a frown, "Is it delicious?"
[Uncle Li can't speak, so few people are willing to hire him. Uncle Li can only rely on his meager family property to support Jiang Qi. The two of them may not have had enough to eat for a long time.]
Jiang Qi raised his little face, with a few grains of jelly on his lips, "So sizzling, so sizzling!"
Qingping stood behind Shangguan Sui and looked up at Jiang Qi.
But the more he looked, the deeper Qingping's frown became.
This little boy's eyebrows and eyes are similar to the princess...
A shocking idea crossed Qingping's mind.
Could it be that this little boy is the emperor's illegitimate son left behind?
Otherwise, how could he look so much like the princess!
The more Qingping thought about it, the more she felt it was right, but she didn't dare say it out loud.
This, this is a huge secret!
Shangguan Sui turned around and wanted to talk to Qingping, but suddenly found that Qingping became a little strange.
Why does she seem so nervous?
"Qingping, what's wrong with you?" Shangguan Sui asked.
Qing Ping's back stiffened instantly when she heard this, and her voice became stammering: "No, nothing."
But after thinking about it, she still felt that she needed to remind the princess.
Qing Ping pursed her lips and said, "Princess, this little boy's eyebrows and eyes seem to be somewhat similar to yours..."
Shangguan Sui laughed out loud upon hearing this.
[It’s not the old saying that nieces look like their aunts. Jiang Qi is my aunt’s son. It’s normal for us to have similar features.]
Shangguan Sui turned his head and thought this was a very good reason.
She raised her delicate little face and said in a crisp voice: "This little boy looks so much like me, it must be a fate given by God. I want to take him with me to Beijing!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Qi's eyes lit up immediately.
But Uncle Li beside him suddenly turned pale.
Go to the capital? No, I can't go to the capital...
Qi'er will definitely be discovered if she goes to the capital...
Uncle Li turned to look at Jiang Qi, his eyes full of worry.
late at night.
Uncle Li took advantage of the darkness of the night when everyone was fast asleep.
He secretly carried the still sleeping Jiang Qi on his back and wanted to take him away secretly through the path.
Others may not know, but he knows his niece's methods best.
The capital city is really a den of tigers and wolves. It took him a lot of effort to escape from the capital city. He doesn't want to go back.
He only hoped that Jiang Qi would be safe...
However, just as he reached the back door of the wooden gate, a swordsman dressed in black suddenly appeared and blocked his way.
The silver-white tip of the sword suddenly appeared in front of him, and Uncle Li almost screamed in fright.
Yan Kongshan didn't waste any time and directly dragged Uncle Li into the woodshed.
Uncle Li was about to shout for help, but when he saw who was in the room, he stopped talking instantly.
His eyes widened instantly.
Why, why is it her!
Shangguan Sui turned around, tilted his head to look at him, blinked, and asked directly: "Uncle Li, are you going to take Jiang Qi away?"
When Uncle Li heard this, his heart stopped instantly.
How did the Fifth Princess know his last name was Li...
I even know Jiang Qi's name...
Li Shu'e was sweating profusely, not knowing what to do.
Shangguan Sui explained in a clear and slow voice.
"Princess Yong is my biological aunt, and Jiang Qi is her biological son, which means he is my cousin. I have no reason to hurt you."
"I just couldn't bear to see them separated from each other, so I just wanted to help them."
"My aunt wouldn't blame you for saving Jiang Qi."
Shangguan Sui looked at Uncle Li, who was carrying Jiang Qi on his back, and sighed softly.
[Originally, Uncle Li saved Jiang Qi because he couldn't bear it, but he didn't expect that they would develop feelings for each other after spending a few years together.]
[When they were in Dayue Country, the two were in trouble. Uncle Li was willing to risk his own life to save Jiang Qi, and jumped up to block a sword for Jiang Qi.]
【It is not an exaggeration to say that they are family. 】
Upon hearing this, Uncle Li raised his eyes and looked at Shangguan Sui in front of him, a little absent-minded.
In the moonlight, the little girl's palm-sized face was covered with silver light, her facial features were delicate, and her big, twinkling eyes were full of spirit.
Uncle Li didn't know how the fifth princess from Dayue Kingdom knew so many things.
But a feeling suddenly surged in his heart, making him inexplicably trust her...
